Thanks for asking. It’s partly OOP, but more than that, C++ is just rife with footguns and is basically unreadable for me.

I think C is much more readable and I find imperative/procedural programming to be much more delightful and readable.

Rust is my absolute favorite though, because it removes the footguns of most lower-level langs while being just as performant. The only trade-off is that you need to understand the borrow checker, but working with it becomes substantially easier over time and saves an ungodly amount of headaches. You can also write something that very closely approximates OOP, without the most of the footguns (like inheritance, until you get into more advanced stuff like trait objects, anyway).

I don’t know of anything fully libre exists, so in lieu of that: TD Ameritrade was the only software I found that actually has a Linux client. I’m pretty sure it’s still proprietary, but idk of anything else.

Speaking of suckless, does anyone know of a Wayland-compatible window manager, similar to DWM, preferably written in Rust or C (but not C++).

Seems like a fun thing to tinker with to learn how window managers work.

Yes, but don’t mention it to the people that only care about their eye candy because they get very mad when you do that.

The EU governing bodies are speaking out of both sides of their mouths if they claim that they want data sovereignty while simultaneously relying on an evil, American company to verify your “integrity” 🤡

You’ll never be sovereign if you rely on a for-profit entity that makes money by spying on people and selling your data.

I have the same mouse, and that scroll wheel is unusable. It requires a ton of effort to just scroll tiny amounts because the sensitivity is waaay too low and it cannot be adjusted. The rest of the mouse is really nice because it runs QMK.

I set up drag scrolling as a workaround for the shitty scroll wheel, which allows you to press a button (or a combination of buttons) and then use the mouse’s optical sensor as an omnidirectional scrolling device until you release the button.

I set that up on my Ploopy Adept hand trackball mouse as well. It’s my favorite mouse I’ve ever used.
